Gnome Mplayer segfaults every time I try to play a video.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. From command line, file browser, or 'File > Open' menu, open a video in 
gnome-mplayer.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Obviously, you would expect this to play the video and accompanying audio. 
Instead the program exits. From the command line it has no error message, just 
Segmentation fault (core dumped).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using the current SVN checkout on Arch Linux, in awesome-wm and Cinnamon.

Please provide any additional information below.
I was using gnome-mplayer 1.0.7-2 from Arch's community repository until last 
night. That has also been giving me problems. On that version, I would try to 
open a video, and the window would freeze, no video would play. I had to kill 
the window with xkill and use 'killall mplayer' to stop the audio track which 
would play in the background. This only happened in awesome-wm, when ran in 
Cimmanom, it would work as expected. 

The current SVN version segfaults no matter what session I am logged into, I 
haven't a clue as to what's going on.

Can you run gnome-mplayer from the terminal with the -v option and see if any 
output comes out? Also you could try running gnome-mplayer under gdb and type 
"bt" when it crashes and post that as well.

make sure you have at least version 1.0.7 of gmtk installed, SVN is better when 
running svn of gnome-mplayer.

Here is the output of both: http://pastebin.com/pUvBcrTh
I'm using the latest gmtk-svn as well: 

$ pacman -Q gmtk-svn 
gmtk-svn 116-1

Built again this morning from this PKGBUILD:

Looks like you are running gnome-mplayer 1.0.6 with gmtk 1.0.7a1 which is not a 
supported configuration. Please upgrade both components to the same revision 
and try again.

Sorry, I got mixed up with the SVN revisions. Now I have both at version 1.0.8
It's not segfaulting now, but instead the program seems to play the video with 
mplayer in the background, while the window freezes. So, no video, just a 
broken window which needs to be killed with xkill, and some audio which goes 
away with 'killall mplayer.'

It's very strange. Here's another log of the same form:

According to the logs the vdpau support is failing. You might try setting the 
Video Output (vo) to something else like gl or xv to see if that works first. 
Do that under Edit->Preferences.

Also, your version of mplayer2 is not reporting a version. So you may need to 
see if there is an upgrade for that. I tested the latest mplayer2 today and it 
worked fine with SVN.

I just upgraded to the latest mplayer2 here: 
git://git.mplayer2.org/mplayer2-build.git
I've tried different vo options. Every option I've tried except vdpau works 
with mplayer, but not gnome-mplayer. Playing videos always causes the current 
version to freeze up, instead of loading graphics.

Can you post the output of mplayer running with vdpau and then with 
gnome-mplayer running with vdpau and the output of vdpauinfo

There is no doubt a problem with vdpau, but why should the problem persist when 
I switch to -vo xv, (or any other video output), in the gnome-mplayer 
preferences?

I appears that vdpau just does not work on your system. Until mplayer can play 
using vdpau there is no way that gnome-mplayer will be able to. Also it appears 
that mplayer is crashing with xv output as well. As long as mplayer will not 
work, gnome-mplayer will not work.
